The FOMO syndrome is defined as the fear of missing out, usually associated with activities or events on social media. Lack of attention to these platforms can generate anxiety in those who experience it. On the other hand, self-esteem refers to the judgment a person makes about themselves in relation to their perception of thoughts, attitudes, abilities, values, and body. We conducted a study with the purpose of investigating whether there is a relationship between self-esteem and the FOMO syndrome. This study was quantitative in nature, correlational in level, and cross-sectional in design, although not experimental. The sample consisted of 143 students aged 18 to 24 enrolled at the Centro Regional Universitario de San Miguelito, located in Panama City (CRUSAM). The results revealed that 7% of the students exhibited high levels of FOMO, while 11% showed low levels of self-esteem. However, a significant relationship between the FOMO syndrome and self-esteem could not be established, as the Pearson correlation coefficient r= -0.13 indicated a very low and statistically insignificant correlation."
